You Must Watch This If You Want To Build True Strength For Longevity
Nov 25, 2024Very few people understand how important a role their brains play in the development of strength.
Most people credit the muscles for the ability to produce strength.
But, your brains ability to connect to and recruit your muscles is much more important for the ability to create force.
The amount of force you can create is determined by the amount of tension you can build within your muscles.
And the amount of tension is determined by how many motor units you can recruit within your muscles.
When you practice maximum contractions, like you can with isometric training, you improve the amount of motor units you recruit within your muscles.
But you will not only get stronger.
Improving this "neuromuscular efficiency," or mind-muscle connection, also improves coordination and body awareness, which helps with quicker reactions and better movement.
Which is why Isometrics training is the ultimate training method for those interested in longevity. It improves strength without the risks of dynamic movement and improves your brains ability to recruit muscles for more strength and coordination.
